Audio Photos - Record audio whenever you take photos

Hi everyone,
This is Edward, developer of Car Locator and Smarter Alarm. Seeing how helpful this forum was in providing feedback for Smarter Alarm, I wanted to show another app I've been working on!
The app is called "Audio Photos". It works just like your normal camera, but it records audio a few seconds before and after you take the photo. When you view the photo, it plays back the audio that was recorded at the time. You can share the audio photo by emailing it or posting to your Facebook. (in case you're curious, it combines the audio and video into a single-framed video file with sound so no special software is required to view)
My dad originally came up with this concept. At first I thought it was weird, but I wrote the app anyways. Now the more I use it, the most I find the audio adds a nice dimension to the photo. I think it captures the best of both worlds of a photo and a video.
The app is pretty simple right now, and I wanted to figure out what it is YOU would like to see in the app!
I'd really appreciate any bug reports, feature requests, and improvements you might have!

Thanks!

Tested and working on my HTC Desire, rooted and running badnewz 1.8 DHD rom. The audio isn't very loud, is there a way to alter the level?

Your dad was right, I have been looking for something like that for YEARS! I am still using a circa 2002 camera for that very reason, because newer cameras don't have this feature anymore!
Now... Are you open to suggestions or have you abandonned the development? I see this thread has had almost zero feedback!!!
So I tried it and it's a good start, but:
1) Photos and sound files should have the SAME NAME with picture as JPG and sound as WAV
2) Why are we restricted to only a few short seconds? Why no sound record on/off?
Do you think it would be possible to implement or am I one of only a handful of people in the world who think voice annotation to pictures is an essential tool to annotate what the pictures show? In other words, what do other people do to figure out what is what's in their picture collection?
Thanks in advance, Edward!

[APP][2.3+] Miniature Preview Camera released

Hi,
Today I have released free camera app named "Miniature Preview Camera".
Miniature Preview Camera
The following is a link to apk.
View attachment 2373645
You can capture miniaturized photo with real time preview.
Miniaturized photo is created by so-called tilt shift effect. However,beautiful miniaturized photo also requires good photo composition and objects which matches up with tilt shift effect. So this app offers real time preview of tilt shift effect. You can capture the best miniaturized photo while you are watching result of effect.
It also offers test for EDIT mode which makes you to add tilt shift effect to the image in gallery.
This is my first camera app.
I am worried the fact that behavior of android camera is very dependent on the device.
So I would appreciate if you could try it and give me some feedback.

Care to add the apk for those who cannot access the Play Store? Thank you.

It works very well on Sony Xperia Z1.
Nice little app, thank you.

Works on Nexus 4 but crashed after a while when I adjusted the tilt shift effect.

Thank you for problem report. It really helps me.
Some of them may be caused by not difference of camera but GPU... It is tough to debug problem which I cannot reproduce but I will try.

Hi unknown25,
It is good to hear the fix. And yes, this app requires lots of computing power and can be slow on some devices. Implementing performance improvement needs a little time but I will do it in next major update.

Doesn't focus in nexus 4. Thanksssss

Hi gyokzoli, luiseteyo
Thank you for your report. I will get Nexus4 and try it.

Can you post the apk in the first post for those of us preferring not to use the Play Store? Thanks in advance.
Edit: App works fine on CM10, only issue is preview is stretched.

Crashed on LG G2 (D802) when trying to adjust zoom slider. Worked when adjusting effect slider. Picture captured.

The Play store says this app isn't available for my phone (Nexus 4). I can find it using the play store app either, only the Pro version.
